Womens Dresses

... Add Femme Fatale to Your Look with a Dress!

Womens dresses (or frocks in plain British) are one of my favorite wardrobe pieces. They're easy and comfortable, and I just love that a dress can stylishly showcase your shoes and hosiery.

I enjoy how a dress can make me look chic and dressed-up - it can turn heads and really show off your feminine side!

A great thing about dresses is that they great for expressing your femininity. It's flirty and pretty. And if you're looking to change (and soften) the opposite sex' impression of you then wearing a dress will definitely help!

There's a vast assortment of fashionable dress styles out there. You can find dresses in a variety of styles and colors that can help you accentuate your personal style, as well as highlight your best assets and disguise the ones you're not so proud of. It's all about knowing what you want and find a dress that has the details that match that.

Despite being an image consultant, I tend to overdo it when it comes to fashion dresses. They look so chic and glamorous - and wearing one makes me feel extra pretty! Skirts and dresses are some of my fashion obsessions that I've made into my signature style, so I think it's absolutely ok to put bulks of my money on them :-)

If you're not much of a frock-gal but want to benefit from the chicness of wearing one, then you'll find plenty of dress style alternatives that are more toned-down, sophisticated & professional, or even casual.

Red is a head-turning power color that can impress but intimidate. So there are some guidelines to keeping your outfit tacky-free.

Petite Dresses

Petite dresses have the size and shape that are specifically designed for women with a shorter body frame. This page provides you with fashion advice on how to look your best in a dress with your petite height.

Sweater Dresses

Need a change in your Fall/Winter style?

Swap up the jeans and knit cardigan with a knit sweater dress! This is a stylish way to show off your hosiery and boots. I love wearing my rib knitted sweater dress with black opaque tights and a pair of slouchy knee high boots.

Long Summer Dresses

If you don't like showing off your legs for summer but want to maintain an on-trend look then you should definitely go for a long dress. It's super-pretty and not least elegant.

Long summer dresses are good for covering up your legs without sweating your butt off. And if you know how to select the right style for your body figure you'll be able to look like a Greek Goddess without looking like you're drowning in it (note for petite!)

Sun Dresses

A pretty sun dress is the closet piece that define a chic Spring/Summer wardrobe.

A casual white summer dress is an essential, but you can build your collection by adding bold, eye-popping summer colors such as turquoise (looks good on any coloring!), orange, yellow or a tantalizing deep ocean blue.

If you have closet full of dresses but haven't worn half of them, then it's safe to say that you need to improve your spending habits.

Buying a dress that is difficult to mix and match are some of the frustrating things you're faced with. It's also an indicator that you haven't given much thought into what you're purchasing and if you really need it.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Dresses

My best advice to you is to secure the wardrobe dress essentials first and then focus on the styles that are basic in color (solids will do good too) and style, and then add the trendier ones after that.

You'll get the most out of your buck with versatile womens dresses that can be easily transformed into different outfit combinations - just by switching the belts, scarves, bags and jewelry!
